Mean Mr. Mustard

in AlbumAbbey Road

Mean Mister Mustard sleeps in the park

Shaves in the dark trying to save paper

Sleeps in a hole in the road

Saving up to buy some clothes

Keeps a ten-bob note up his nose

Such a mean old man

Such a mean old man

His sister Pam works in a shop

She never stops, she's a go-getter

Takes him out to look at the queen

Only place that he's ever been

Always shouts out something obscene

Such a dirty old man

Dirty old man

About this Song

Mean Mr. Mustard by The Beatles is a quirky, whimsical tune that describes an eccentric and miserly man named Mr. Mustard. The song paints a vivid picture of his odd habits and stinginess. It conveys themes of loneliness and the absurdity of extreme frugality, capturing the essence of his isolated and rather pitiful existence. Particularly poignant moments in the song include the descriptions of Mr. Mustard sleeping in the park to save money and the detail that his sister, Pam, seems to be his only human connection, highlighting his solitary life.
